Intro
Code the Future, Empower UWC!
Who Are We?
(No need to worry, we’re not Hoganese!)
Ice-Breaker Session
Let’s get to know each other! When introducing yourself, include:
- Basic info: Where are you from? What’s your degree/field of study? What are your hobbies?
- Why did you join the Computing Society Zhixing?
- Your favorite video game or anime!
🎵 Play “Papyrus Theme Song”
What is the Computing Society?
Our Aim:
- Create a cozy, creative, and collaborative environment. %%(Ask questions, rectify errors in no time)%%
- Encourage contributions to the community through fun and innovative ideas.
- Make friends while learning new skills.
Who We Aspire to Be:
To become an ideal developer, you need to master:
- Programming skills
- Problem-solving and critical thinking
- Collaboration and communication
Our Structure
Becoming a Core Team Member
- If you’re able to host at least half a session (30 minutes) and receive positive feedback, you can become a core team member (certified by the EL office).
The Kernel
- The kernel is a subset of the core team who not only hosts sessions but also handles budgets, organization, and logistics.
Activities Overview
Routine Sessions
(Images of the sessions)
Featured Sessions
- These are hosted by core team members or those aspiring to become one.
- For more details about the future content, refer to the Course Storm file.
Your Own Project (?)
- Budget may be provided if negotiations with EL are successful (which is usually the case).
- Human resources could also be made available (though we can’t guarantee it).
- If your project succeeds, we will host a CS Day to publish and promote your work on campus (we’re aiming to beat the Sustainable Council’s Hackathon!).
Journal
- We will publish through our own platform.
- The journal will focus on introducing interesting articles (original works are also encouraged).
- We need a dedicated person to consistently play the role of editor and publisher.
- More details about the journal structure and process are yet to be decided
Collaborations with Other Zhixings
Robotix
- We’ll co-host Programming Initial Courses and share learning resources.
GAL (?)
- Tentative collaboration: Since GAL lacks programmers for their game, we plan to supply resources after the Programming Initial Courses.
Your Ideas?
- Got a collaboration idea with another Zhixing or organization? We encourage you to bring it forward!
(If time permits, we can brainstorm together).
Final Notes
- Is everyone available on Wednesday for future sessions?
- Make sure to install Python and an IDE (editor).
- Guide to be provided soon.
